Kendrick Kuo and Robert Ralston, former pre-doctoral fellows with the Albritton Center for Grand Strategy (CGS), have published articles in the two leading journals in the security studies field. Kuo’s article, which appears in International Security, deals with when military innovation harms combat effectiveness. Ralston’s article, which appears in Security Studies, deals with the causes of declinism in major powers. Kuo is now with the U.S. Naval War College’s Strategic and Operational Research Department. Ralston is with the Department of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham.
The Albritton Center for Grand Strategy serves as an intellectual hub for the critical examination of American grand strategy. Specifically, the Center supports research that takes a fresh look at America’s grand strategic choices; fosters dialogue between scholars and practitioners; and helps prepare a new generation of public servants who will be grand strategic thinkers.
